Can I Take the Theory Test Without Enrolling in a Driving School?
1 Answers
You can take the theory test without enrolling in a driving school, but students who register with a driving school generally receive more convenient services. Firstly, they don't need to schedule the test themselves—the driving school will help some students book the test for the same time slot and provide shuttle buses to the test center. Note that not every city allows self-study for direct examination. Cities where you can obtain a driver's license without enrolling in a driving school: As of now, the pilot regions in China that have opened self-study for direct examination include Tianjin, Baotou, Changchun, Nanjing, Ningbo, Ma'anshan, Fuzhou, Ji'an, Qingdao, Anyang, Wuhan, Nanning, Chengdu, Qiandongnan, Dali, and Baoji. Regulations on self-study for direct examination of driver's licenses: On December 10, 2015, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "Opinions on Promoting the Reform of the Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination System" issued by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport. The document proposed that pilot regions with the necessary conditions should allow self-study for direct examination of small car drivers, fully liberalize cross-regional examination, license renewal, replacement, and verification, and strive to make the process of learning to drive and obtaining a license more convenient and efficient for the public.
